The Citizen EM0508-98W is a limited edition of just 1,125 pieces worldwide, built around a mother of pearl dial engraved with a cherry blossom pattern. Mother of pearl is a natural material cut from the iridescent inner layer of shell — no two dials are alike — and the sakura motif catches the light differently as the wrist moves, so the blossoms appear and recede.
A single crystal accent sits on the dial, with rose gold-tone hands and a mix of index and Roman numeral hour markers, framed by minute markers around the outer rim. The 32mm rose gold-tone stainless steel case is just 7.3mm thin, with a matching fixed bezel and bracelet. There's no date window — nothing interrupts the pattern.
Inside is Citizen's Calibre E031 Eco-Drive movement: light-powered, accurate to ±15 seconds per month, holding approximately 6 months of charge in darkness, and never requiring a battery. Mineral crystal protects the dial, the case is water resistant to 50 metres, and the watch arrives in a special Sakura presentation box.

Why You'll Love It
- Limited to 1,125 pieces worldwide — a genuinely scarce release, and one of the more collectible women's watches in Citizen's range.
- The cherry blossom pattern on a mother of pearl base is the point of the whole watch: as the natural iridescence shifts with the light, the sakura motif appears and recedes rather than sitting flat.
- Mother of pearl is a natural material, so every dial has its own pattern — no two of the 1,125 pieces are quite identical.
- A single crystal accent adds a point of sparkle without tipping the dial into being busy.
- Rose gold-tone case, bezel, bracelet and hands give a warm, cohesive finish that suits the cherry blossom theme.
- At 32mm and just 7.3mm thin, this is genuinely slim and refined — it sits comfortably under a cuff and wears like jewellery.
- No battery, ever. Eco-Drive converts any light — sunlight or an office lamp — into the energy that runs the watch, with roughly 6 months of reserve in complete darkness.
- It arrives in a special Sakura presentation box, which makes it a properly considered gift rather than just a watch in a standard case.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this a limited edition?
Production is capped at 1,125 pieces worldwide, and each watch is supplied in a special Sakura presentation box. Once the run sells through, this configuration won't be reproduced.
What is a mother of pearl dial?
Mother of pearl is the natural iridescent lining found inside certain shells. Cut into thin slices and used as a dial, it produces a soft, shifting shimmer that changes with the light and viewing angle. Because it's a natural material, the pattern varies from piece to piece — no two of the 1,125 watches are quite identical.
Is this a mechanical watch?
No — it's a Citizen Eco-Drive, which is light-powered. There's no mainspring to wind and no battery to replace. Any light source, natural or artificial, keeps it charged, and a full charge holds for roughly 6 months in complete darkness.
What is Eco-Drive?
Eco-Drive is Citizen's light-powered movement technology. A cell beneath the dial converts any light source — sunlight, a lamp, an overhead office light — into energy stored in a rechargeable cell, so the watch never needs a battery.
How long does the charge last if I stop wearing it?
Approximately 6 months from a full charge with no further light exposure. An Insufficient Charge Warning alerts you before the reserve runs out, and a short session in daylight restores it.
Does this watch have a date display?
No. The dial shows hours, minutes and seconds only — a deliberate choice, so nothing interrupts the cherry blossom pattern.
Is the case solid gold?
No. The case, bezel and bracelet are rose gold-tone plated stainless steel — a warm gold finish over steel, giving the colour of rose gold with the durability and price of a steel watch.
Will 32mm fit my wrist?
32mm is a classic, comfortably proportioned women's case size and suits most wrist sizes well. At just 7.3mm thick it's genuinely slim and sits easily under a sleeve.
Can I swim or shower with this watch?
The case is rated to 50 metres, which covers handwashing, rain and everyday splashes comfortably. It's not intended for swimming, showering or diving.
Is the bracelet adjustable?
Yes. The bracelet can be resized by adding or removing links, and closes with a three-fold clasp and push-button release. City Chain offers complimentary bracelet sizing at any outlet — bring your warranty book along for the service.
What warranty does this watch come with?
The EM0508-98W comes with a 3-year warranty when purchased from City Chain Singapore, an authorised Citizen retailer. Keep your warranty card and proof of purchase — both are required when submitting the watch for service at any City Chain outlet.
